Commandos 2 remains a must have game for fans of classic RTS games, although it gives its age in some mechanics already outdated. The HD remastering, especially on the PlayStation 4, however, brings so many gaffes of the adaptation that enjoying the title ends up requiring a much greater effort than it should.

Praetorians HD Remaster is a classic RTS game in all its merit, but also in all its limitations, especially considering the PlayStation 4 version and the features of the DualShock 4 and the couch player. It has its advantages, but suffers in all aspects – narrative, audiovisual and gameplay – to dialogue with the current moment, even though it belongs to a relatively rare genre on consoles today.

There is no doubt that RPG Maker MV, due to its characteristic of being software adapted for consoles, requires patience beyond normal for amateur game designers. Still, it is a powerful and fascinating tool, with many great functions that allow the creation of great 2D RPGs with isometric view and strong nostalgic appeal.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is, without a doubt, exactly what the fans of the franchise expected: it brings the same scenarios, refined and fluid gameplay, an updated look to current standards and, above all, uncompromising fun that keeps the good vibes from the original games.

Manifold Garden is probably one of the best and most daring puzzle games of the past two decades. Referring to the greatest classics of the genre, it manages to present an absolutely simple concept both in terms of aesthetics and gameplay, with the right rhythm in beautiful and ingenious challenges.

Giraffe and Annika is a light game, a fairy tale with a clean manga aesthetic and full of subtleties. With too simplified environments and very simple mechanics for an exploration adventure, it brings its most original point a rhythmic system in the battle against bosses, although it appropriates many things that we have seen before. With all this, it is a pleasant and relaxing experience for all ages.

Metamorphosis is a unique work, very well executed and with narrative layers that are sure to please Kafka enthusiasts and his legacy. Adventurous and with a very particular narrative point of view, the game proves to be a satisfying, but quite short experience. Aesthetically, it has its limitations, but it compensates them with style and a certain sense of strangeness full of identity.

pixelBOT EXTREME! is as much fun as the player's resilience lasts, offering simple and addictive mechanics, a great artistic style in what is proposed and a level design that is sometimes incredible, sometimes cruel. If it fails in terms of charisma, it pays off by offering a wonderful side-scrolling shooter experience.

Skater XL is undoubtedly a very robust experience in terms of gameplay and probably the most sophisticated of its kind. However, it suffers from the lack of content, objectives and certain elements, in addition to having serious level design problems in the few available scenarios, still having a very raw collision system and a below average audiovisual construction, even for an independent production.

Hellpoint is a good, but not great, action RPG inspired by the soulslike sub-genre with competent but poor sci-fi ambience. If it looks dated and uninspired visually, it has in its combat system – even with some downsides – its appeal. It brings innovative aspects, but it should please only fans of the genre who have their expectations in check.

Neversong is a beautiful and sensitive journey of a boy on a quest that goes far beyond the hero's journey. With a very peculiar artistic style and an atmosphere that flirts with psychological horror in a very creative way, it has in the combat and in the almost nonexistent challenge its weakest points, and in the delicate construction of the narrative, its best quality.

SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE brings what worked best in the original game, adding some elements that make it a more complete and sophisticated experience. With a subjective narrative, this game is visually unique and has a solid and fun gameplay base, that is involving and leave us wanting more.

The Last of Us Part II is a visceral and impacting game in many ways. By maintaining a well-determined base of his predecessor and refining the gameplay aspects, he manages to define it as a very cohesive continuation with everything that has been established, at the same time as the adjustments in the display and in fighting this even better finished product.

If there is one word that can describe My Friend Pedro, it is fluidity. All gameplay is based on the plasticity of movements, the cinematographic choreography and the remarkable moments - by quality or mediocrity - resulting from the player's action. With a disjointed narrative and few post-final incentives, the final result is still very positive, presenting a remarkable, addictive and extremely fun experience.

In terms of script, photography and art, The Complex dares little, with a direction that is sometimes confusing and problems in the construction of some ramifications that it proposes. However, it entertains and places itself as a good example of the so-called full motion videos, offering a sci-fi suspense that is very suitable for fans of the genre, a certain diversity of significant choices and an audiovisual quality in the average of other similar productions.

Townsmen: Kingdom Rebuilt is a good city building and management simulator and knows how to deal with the historical period in which it is located. There is a very diverse range for different buildings and a deep system of production chain and systematization of the economy, although it does not bring anything very original. It carries audiovisual and interface glitches, the vast majority due to the heritage of its mobile origins, but it can be a good option for fans of the genre.

My Hero One's Justice 2 works well within the scope of its proposal with a respectable cast, solid game modes and visuals filled with the pyrotechnics that the franchise got us used to. It takes little risk though, both in terms of gameplay and narrative, relying on the charisma of its characters and elements that worked well in the previous game, creating a solid and fun experience.

Katana Kami: A Way of the Samurai Story manages to balance, in a very competent way, a simple, dense and efficient gameplay with a differentiated system of resource and objective management. It brings a very direct story that has its greatest asset in the setting. Menus, canvas elements and even the artistic style bring good ideas, but they also present some problems, and the repetition of iterations can be more tiring than it should.

Dawn of Fear is a poorly executed collection of good nostalgic inspirations. With fickle artistic and technical aspects and garbled gameplay, the game still suffers from technical problems and wrong level design choices that unfortunately flunk its good ideas.
